Exactly!

Actually, the CSL aircraft are even simpler than FS98 aircraft. You gotta see them to get the idea. But, anyway, personally, I plan to keep them installed for a while, just to see the actual impact to the sim, and especially to get a good view of the show! I can always flush them if I decide to later.

If an Observer want's to see the diversity of a gathering like this, it might be a good idea to install them. And the file size isn't really "super huge".

Well I was thinking you guys could make your own CSL library specifically for the airshow and then use some simple GMAX models so that way they'd be more detailed than an FS98 aircraft, plus it'd still save framerates. Just study the one you're using if you want to make one it's not to complicated.

A little extra work.

But, if Erie decides to go that route, someone could check the list of the participating aircraft against the aircraft in the CSL Library and add what's needed.

Shouldn't be too many, cause the CSL has A LOT of different models already in it.

Looks awesome EriePlane! Just send all the textures and the .gmax file to me and I'll get it working in FS. This airshow just keeps getting better and better. Maybe you could add a person? Thanks.

I've added in a champagne holder and bottle to the chair. The bottle is as realistic as I could make it and it is empty as I could make it (We don't want you getting drunk and stumbling out on the runway now do we  ;D ;D ;D).
